Possible rubbing issues with stock wheels

Just got the 4in lift from Pro Comp with radius arms. Got new rims and tires as well. I got a decent trip coming up and wanted to put my stockers back on to keep the miles off of my mt's. The shop says they will not fit without spacers. Anybody know if this is true? If so that sucks. I can always swap them out and see, but it's kind of a pita without a lift. Thanks for any help.

why would they not fit??
i highly doubt a stock size tire would rub on a new radius arm. i cant imagine a new radius arm set-up being closer to the wheel and tire. in fact, most new radius arms provide MORE clearance than factory
only way to know is to test fit

Only thing I can think of is that the stock wheels are 40 offset and your aftermarkets are probably nearer to 0. Carli arms give you more clearance, not sure if the pro comp ones do. Actually, arent the procomps just a stock arm drop and not a whole new arm? That might be a valid worry then.

i don't see how a stock size tire can even come close to rubbing

I don't think anyone every mentioned stock tires... Just stock wheels.
